Civ5: Gods & Kings (Mac) is 75% off at Amazon for US customers at the moment. Using the coupon "cagrocks" which applies 25% off, brings it to $5.62. It's the Mac version but since it's a code that activates on Steam, and it's Steamplay, it should be cross compatible with Windows, but I...

As many of you will know, I with the help of particularly EmperorFool put together a little mod for BtS called Advanced Combat Odds, or ACO for short. Basically the idea behind the mod was to provide the player more detailed information about the possible combat outcomes when hovering the mouse...

Game 133 is up and running. Already at 43 (of 200) players and filling fast. (at time of this post) Feel free to make your presence in the game known to others in this thread.

I've been trying to find some pc games that have some sort of market simulation (or a real market if it's multiplayer and there are enough people) either as a small or large part of the game. For example, WoW has an auction house and thousands of players per server so the market mini-game can...

Icey No mod ICS? Icey No! NO LONGER IN DEVELOPMENT This is a mod that tries to curtail the effectiveness of the hard ICS strategy, where many small and mostly infrastructureless cities packed in tightly can be more powerful than an empire of similar population size but with more...

I'm not going to bother uploading a gamesave because this is very easy to reproduce. 1. Take any unit that has movement points remaining and tell it to 'do nothing'. This can be done by pressing spacebar. 2. Select the unit again, and you will see that there is a button to 'wake' the unit...

Hammurabi of Babylon - barebones leader mod. Now those of you who haven't purchased the DLC can play as or against Babylon too. Update: 25/10/10: Babylon has been made available for purchase via Steam. As such, this mod will now serve as more of a "try it free before you buy", so you can...

Let me say straight up I have only been able to play the demo so far. But what I wish to make suggestions about is in relation to the interface anyway. :) The suggestions are directed at Firaxis and also modders to an extent. Especially if there is a solution (e.g. a setting in the .ini file)...

As best I can tell, Zoom-To-Cursor (an interface feature where using the scroll wheel to zoom in or out centers the zooming on the position of the cursor instead of the centre of the screen) has made it to civ5! While this video was not the best I've seen, it confirmed at several points that...

If you find something that's wrong or doesn't make sense in the civ5 manual (find it here), please add it to this thread. I will try to maintain a list in this post. Note: Louis XXIV, craig123 and justin1111101 have compiled lists of errors I did not add to this post, and I have added...

Update: 19/10: In an attempt to prevent the recent news biasing the poll result, I've closed the poll. If Genghis Khan was released as a DLC civ (for civ5), how much would you be prepared to pay for it? Note I am not asking how much you would like to pay but you much you would. Prices are in...

AriochIV pointed me to this video: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/civilizationv/video/6266579/sid-meiers-civilization-v-e3-2010-interview-jon-shafer?tag=videos%3Btitle%3B5 which shows several combats. The following is an analysis of the combats that were shown, and a few guesses made about...

(discontinued) Prologue Now that I've proven I've no writing talent, why don't we get straight to the good bit: The HEX Mod. In this mod we mess with one of the most fundamental rules of the game - adjacency. Currently all tiles on the board, apart from those at the poles, neighbour 8 other...

Simple question. Why has the Deluxe Edition disappeared from the pre-order options on Steam? EDIT - It appears to be only North American customers who now have the Deluxe Edition option. For those who might be unfamiliar, a press release from 2K Games had the following: source...

(EDIT -- comment removed) I have some concerns about the handling of steam threads in the civ5 forum. In particular, this poll was closed for basically no reason at all other than pre-emptively to prevent a steam fanbois vs. haters war. Can we please have moderating move to dealing with...

It's been nearly a year since I've used Steam. In that time I've formatted my computer a number of times and have not bothered to re-install the Steam software. I figured since there's a lot of uncertainty about Steam in this forum I'd do a quick rundown of my first impressions of it as I...

Do you think the abbreviation "ciV" for Civilization V should be encouraged or discouraged? Please note this is not a poll about the icon to be used for Civilization V on this forum - that is the subject of a different thread. Feel free to post your reasons below if you want to. Any...

Attackers choosing Combat promotions Combat promotions are unique because they are the only modifier promotions that always affect the unit who owns them. (Drill promotions also always affect the unit owning them but I don't call them "modifier" promotions). All other modifier promotions such...

I was just curious as to whether there is a reason that the number of private messages in your inbox is limited to 300. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the ridiculous space offered by services like gmail... but considering we can make thousands upon thousands of forum posts and attach many...
